ive seen over 30 minis dynoed and not one has ever gained that much from a filter i persoanly 3 people with pannel filters in theirs and none of then think it has given any real gain (2 piper cross and 1 k&n)

true my cooper made 130 bhp on the rollers as stcok but i was told it was running near perfect

whilst i know the superchip dose libertae a good bit of power from a stock mini one i just relay dont like how it dose it imo MTH tuner file is a far better option if you cant be bothered with dyno tuning

just for the record our car did not have the DIY blufin but a chip fitted and set up by a superchip dealer, the result is satisfactory, although i feel the cars are well under powered anyhow, bit unfair as my car has 400+ brake, but my son loves it and at 18 it's a shithot car, my first car was a 65 hp Avenger DOH!

take it down some twist roads, or infact through milton keynes and say it's not fun then!

I think the gear ratios are also different in the Cooper, to give it a more 'sporty' drive..
I'm pretty sure they're not as that would add quite a bit more expense to the production of the car, i'm fairly sure they're the same
Seconded.

no sir you are correct, according to the chaps at 1320autos the gears and final drive are different
